    Here, it is Tails who is the victim of an unflattering pose. He is super short and sort of fat, for this little enamel pin.

The game "Shenmue" for the Dreamcast was a big deal at its time.
It was highly regarded as 'true next gen' gaming, because of its realistic looking cut scenes, good all around (at the time) graphics, and the many, many things you could get the main character to do as he moved through the plot. He drove a fork-lift for a job, but you could also get him to play gatcha / coin machines if you found one.
Interacting with the machine would even give a toy! You could get the character to collect the surprise toys. In this case, he has won a double toy, which is a neutral Chao & a Pian stuck together. The Pian is that little cone head angel thing in the back. It is an NPC from NiGHTS, another SonicTeam game. "Pian" was short for "Nightopian" from Nightopia.

The Shenmue developers had a fun time adding in such a nice little easter egg like this for the fans, and now you can see it too.
